Review
“Roco's visual style is an appealing, effective amalgamation of cartoonishness and realism... distinguished by its gentle humor and sympathetic if ultimately unsparing compassion.”
- Gordon Flagg, Booklist
“This distressing yet humorous story offers an empathetic glimpse of the brave humanity of aging people and the challenges in caring for them.”
- Martha Cornog, Library Journal
“Wrinkles is... a really well done book, powerful, melancholic, bittersweet, heartbreaking, beautifully drawn.”
- Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International
